Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If mi carnales have a calling card
My Zoro voodoo, he can go to war
My Jamaican bring the reefer in
Grabbing five, I can throw you ten

If mi carnales have a calling card
My Zoro voodoo, he can go to war
My Jamaican bring the reefer in
Grabbing five, I can throw you ten

KD said that he don't want to sell to nobody
Probably cause he don't want
To tell on nobody
You and them niggas ain't scaring nobody
Just left Mississippi, they
Bout the grabbage, you know how I'm acting
Say there go shawty
We jump in the maxima and she do the driving
I like to ride passenger my wait therapeutic
I type in my phone while I listen to music
Now we in Houston
Fucking with broads and miniature thompsons

Said did somebody shoot me

Breadwinner came, pull up in
Promoters want posters that all of you
Know what I told em

You know it's gone cost you

If mi carnales have a calling card
My Zoro voodoo, he can go to war
My Jamaican bring the reefer in
Grabbing five, I can throw you ten

If mi carnales have a calling card
My Zoro voodoo, he can go to war
My Jamaican bring the reefer in
Grabbing five, I can throw you ten

It's gone jive when they come recompress
Break down, rebuild, repack, reseal
I'm just saying, what you mean what it is?
Cameras on all TVs in the crib
Yeen really this, I ain't that
What the fuck?

Serve your chain up
Get the thing in the club
Off, call off, phone keep blowing up
Street nigga Bread Winner sign
We throwing up i was in the kitchen on
The floor with the bag

Butcher knife
Cutting through the blocks on the slab
Newspaper down get to shake, when it shake
Country boy need 50 so I got to get him fast
Four hundred 48 grams on the scale
Money counter going dumb
I ain't tripping on the smell
Say they really need it I can
Put it in the air
Front door step if I put it in the mail

If mi carnales have a calling card
My Zoro voodoo, he can go to war
My Jamaican bring the reefer in
Grabbing five, I can throw you ten

If mi carnales have a calling card
My Zoro voodoo, he can go to war




My Jamaican bring the reefer in
Grabbing five, I can throw you ten
